The sole main reason for getting the set is the solid remaster from the actual masters. Anything else is just the final icing on the cake and bonus.

I got the Japanese edition with the Obi intact a few years ago. Being my first soundtrack ever, I still get a kick over it. I don't know how Warner Japan ended up with the album master because this version came out a year after the US edition.

Guys Check this out! : Mike Matessino and Neil S Bulk reveal the SUPERMAN Master tapes aka the The goody tapes! https://youtu.be/I-2Soq9UPCI "March 12, 2018: Neil Bulk recording a bit of the day the 2-inch 24-track first generation scoring masters for SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE by John Williams arrived at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank."

I was actually thinking of finding every Mike Matessino podcast and transcribing them for all of us. We could archive them as well here.

Indeed. I was just thinking the same. Never say never. Lets really hope that Williams is able to expand and continue with the STAR WARS Saga way after he wraps up his 9th! Speaking of the brilliant Original recording sessions [Superman i.e] which were all there and preserved in those salt mine conservatories no less in Kansas! -shades of Smallville! LOL. I'am really looking forward to Part 2 of this program. It was also nice to have Tim Burden chime in as well.I also liked the rather touching tribute to Nick Redman in the end. Mike Matessino is a thorough gentleman. By the way, I dunno but I feel THIS release is BIGGER than HARRY POTTER set for me ! It has had such a profound impact on my own life, I can't tell you. Really! Its like coming full circle.

I'am still pinching myself. cant believe they finally got those terrific Recording Masters and produced this set from that. What a revelation this will be.

I get the same each time a package arrives from the post office. I'm also told "Shame on you! " Heck. I'm guilty as ever. 😂

Right now listening to the cues. The sound upgrade appears staggering even on mp3. Check out the distinctive clear drum roll on the 'Prelude and Main Title' sounds so clear; just before ostinato figures begin (coming from the right) There is less shrill sound on the brass this time and the sound stage ambience seems to be better preserved and available. The detailing in various orchestral parts is so clear. Another brilliant job by wunderkind Mike 'magic' Matessino! Congratulations to very every one on the La La Land Team! You guys have yet another winner of a release here. kudos!

What a spectacular release this is. Iam so relieved that the OST 78 minute album has also been released. The set configuration is exactly how I wanted this to be. On a personal note both the movie and score were gateway to soundtrackdom for me. All this begins and ends with SUPERMAN for me. Let it be known, it's My favorite soundtrack in the world! Thank you to LLL and Mike Matessino.

@SyncMan last week.

Amazon UK has at least one track online sample: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Celebrating-Williams-Disney-Concert-Angeles/dp/B07NGJ6Q8M/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1550199964&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=john+williams+celebration+gustavo+cd

Matessino posted a few weeks ago on Intrada Soundtrack Facebook page that the the set was already approved and waiting for its turn at the plant. (I'll share the exact post below..) Matessino: It's approved. We're waiting to hear about the manufacturing schedule, a part of the process that has changed dramatically over the last year or so.

Wait for the prices to go down on Amazon UK like it did with their TWISTED NERVE set which came down to $40 value, was an instant buy for me back then.

Here is the official cover I saw on some friends personal Facebook. Looks like an early prototype.

I remember reading Matessino updated something on one of the Jim Bowers Superman facebook pages that the set was ready as all approvals had been obtained and it just waiting for its turn at the plant. [Sorry cant find that link just yet]

Why doesn't some one record 'Young Indy First Adventure' Concert version cue for cd. I have been wanting this piece for years? Maybe we should request Dudamel and Keith Lockhart...

Those electronics didnt do much for me so I pretty much stuck to the main program. But do you think the promo version on disc 2 is a different mix than the one on disc 1. Because I think Disc 1 sounds better. Haven't really done much of A & B comparason. me neither.

The sound upgrade on this set is amazing. High marks to Matessino on delivering a superb job on this set. I love it.Its like a whole new experience.

The set artwork looks gorgeous!

Yes. Fits the clue. Now repeat after me.. 'There are No cats in America, and the streets are paved with...'

The rights are with an Italian company in Rome that financed the movie.
